Blog entry for an HDK project

Here is a blog entry about using the HDK that is about four years old. According to the post, he attempted to get data from a joystick into Houdini. He wrote his own CHOP (Channel operator) to do this. SDL, a game library, was used to get joystick information. The entry contains some steps he took to build and link to the HDK using Visual C++ and Windows. He mentions a plan to use Python and PyGame, but I'm not sure whether that means he got his Python code to connect to C++code because he mentions a C++ compiler.

Actually, a more recent post here describes this project at a finished stage. From the snippet of code it looks like he ended up using the C interface to SDL.
